I believe food stamps need to be reformed to be much more strict on what foods can be purchased with tax payer money.
It is extremely common to see people taking advantage of food stamps when you see them in line at the grocery store buying premium cuts of meat or other premium ingredients.
I believe we can use the same policy’s WIC has in place that are strict and only allow you to purchase the basic necessities needed to cook a meal at home.
Gone should be the days that someone who works the minimum if at all. Eats better than a person working full time, all because they have food stamps. Most people on food stamps are simply a leach on society.
I believe if food stamps were made this strict, it would make it less likely for people to abuse the system. Since they would only be able to buy basic necessities such as, eggs, beans, vegetables, basic meats, etc.
Anything deemed a premium such as cuts of new york, rib eye, etc should not be allowed to be purched on food stamps. Only basics such as ground beef or eye of round steaks.
They should also be required to hold a job working a set minimum amount of hours. If they can not hold a job they are not a contributing member of society.
Please take the initiative to save our citizens money by reducing the abuse on our food stamps.
